Full tummy

Ella gained 10 grams but is still 1 pound 14 ounces. Last night they were worried about her girth (measurement of her tummy) being too big and so they changed her feedings instead of halting them. Thank you Jesus!! She is now eating 14ml in 1 hour and they vent her tummy (help the air escape) for two hours. They have also started her on medicine that will help her bowels clear. Our prayer is that she will not have to stop the feedings again since that has delayed her release from the hospital for another week. Her sugar levels have been good and hopefully tomorrow they will be able to lower her glucose level in her IV fluid.

Continue to pray for Ella's digestion, lungs to get stronger, and also her liver function.
